Fuck Love, Make War

Wants to be near and dear
Wants to be heard but he doesn't want to have to hear
Me I'm a slug writhing in salt
Insult is assault and he won't get off of me
Get off of me
Dig me back up underground
Scream so loud you don't make a sound
He takes slack he gives flak
He's striking matches on my back
To keep the back burner warm for me
He could have it for free
He'd still wanna steal it from me
This incision bleeds derision
And he won't get off of me
Get off of me
Dig me back up underground
Scream so loud you don't make a sound
Knock me out and don't wake me up till it's over
Dig me back up underground
I declare war

Against

I don't want to run away
From the problems that I face
But everywhere I turn
It seems I'm always being chased
The obstacles in my life
They never seem to stay
They always come around
And fuck my life in different ways
There's problems in my life
And they never go away
The harder I try to fix them
I'm digging deeper in my grave
They find a way to haunt me
They're spitting in my face
The haunting and the taunting
How much more can I take
Smash your head against
Smash it hard when it's scarred
You can't forget the past
Glass all in my fists
At first I try to ignore it
And hope for better days
It always prevails before it fails
And I'm stuck where I stay
I gather my frustration
And back it with all my force
When applied to my problems
Negative energy breaks down doors

Blink It Back

Here comes a heart attack
Up my arm and down my back
My spine's about to snap
And I can't blink it back
Blink it back
Everything went black

Halfway between life and death
Your lungs collapse
A little more with each breath
No touch and no feel
You go round and round
Like a fifth wheel
Swallow fast so you don't taste it
Think it's better to waste it
Army of one sum of none
Legitimate inbred bastard son
Purgatory
A bed in the dirt
Halfway between life and death
You went too far right
And now you're back at the left
This is terminal
Is this terminal
Am I terminal
Purgatory
A bed in the dirt
I'm buried in dirt
Wake me up in the dirt

What a fucking joke
I missed I missed the boat
Has been has been never was
I don't even wanna write this song
But I'm bound by contract
And those smooth talk empty promises
Are stringing me along
I don't get
I don't get
I don't
Give me my gold watch
Consider the job botched
I'm old, I'm old
And gathering moss
I don't get it
Oh forget it
I just remembered I forgot something
Take one step forward and two steps back
Into a corner and up on my hind legs
For the golden carrot of recognition I whimper I beg
Crusty smelly bitter old man
Used up chewed up spat out
Liar tired uninspired expired
Fishing for an excuse to get up and split
Get me out get me out of this money pit
I admit I admit I admit I quit

Why tear out a page
When you can burn the book
It's hard to look down
When you're hanging by a hook
Off jump off and I want off
Off it now
Off jump off and I want off
Off it now
Which way is down
Which way's across
Cut it both ways and
Watch it flood
Just say screw it
Cause you already blew it
When I hit the ceiling
I'm gonna run right through it
Why tear out a page
When you can burn the book
It's hard to look down
When you're hanging by a hook
Which way is down which way's across
Who gives a fuck I just wanna jump off

Look the Other Way
02:26
|

There was a light
There was a flame
Til you put it out
On the tip of your tongue
Cut off your nose to spite your face
You will look the other way
Your sliding glass heart can't shut me out
I see right through to all you're about
I see a liar and I smell a rat
You're lying to yourself I'm not falling for that
Cause I'm a soothsaying dragon slaying
Badass motherfucker
Sight beyond sight the truth is getting tougher
To make up
And recall
Your downfall is your lies
The future you were so sure was wide open
Has whittled down to a bottle neck
You win you win nothing out nothing in
You can look the other way
Look the other way

Lying denying dying dying

Speak
04:30
|

Speak when you think no one's looking
Your mouth is rusting in a sling
Some weight to keep you on your knees
So wait 'til you can cut down a few more trees
Is there life on other planets
I can't find any on this one
I jumped until I broke a leg
And screamed until I popped a lung
And I couldn't agree more
If I was smart enough to be bored
If you're the only one still listening
I would rather be ignored
Beneath the wall of decay and cradle cap
I'm going to take a nap
It's not smothering if they're not breathing
Wake me up when stupid people stop breeding
Is there life on other planets
I can't find any on this one
I jumped until I broke a leg
And screamed until I popped a lung
And I couldn't agree more
If I was smart enough to be bored
If you're the only one still listening
I would rather be ignored
I went looking for life on other planets
'Cause I couldn't find any on this one
Just some pissants praying for a second wind
Out of a collapsed lung
And I couldn't agree more
If I was smart enough to be bored
If you're the only one still listening
I would rather be ignored
Speak

More of the Same

The more it changes
The more it stays the same
Tie a ribbon around it
And call it by another name
A disease at the root
Does it run deeper than the truth
Can you pull it like a tooth
We would we should we can
But we don't
Why do you ask
If you don't wanna know
Look up while you fall down blind
If you don't know then you won't mind
Being swallowed from inside
More of the same
I am never gonna learn
I am never gonna learn
I am never gonna learn
More of the same
